The Climate Change Initiative
The Rural Development Institute is currently partnering with Eco-West Canada to explore the realities of climate change action strategies within municipalities across Manitoba. This Initiative aims to identify the gaps in these strategies, providing context for the community-level understandings of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These insights may allow for the evolution of climate resiliency plans across the region.
